The ironic thing about all these myths surrounding Moctezuma’s gold (NOT MoNtezuma!) is that for most of the Mesoamerican cultures, gold wasn’t perceived as being significantly valuable. In fact, they called it “teocuitlatl” –the gods’ crap.

Now what if those endangered snails WERE the actual treasure, hmm?? 😉

On the topic on the China space race, many of us already suspect the U.S. is way ahead in a secret space program.

OK. I’m an episode behind. But since y’all reported the story on fusion power I had to ask if you had seen this video. I know, it’s a video, and it’s a year old, but it’s a real Google “Solve for X” video presented by a real Lockheed Martin Skunkworks researcher. So I’m at least willing to listen to it, though I remain skeptical. If it’s real, it’s totally world-changing.
